BROUGHT TO TERMS.

How q Young Fellow Who Had Feigned
Muteness for Years Betrayed Himself
When the Union army was filled by
drafting men, during the civil war, it
was wonderful to see how many men,
who had always been regarded by
their neighbors as robust, healthy fell
lows, we're afflicted with some dread
full and incurable infrmity which rem
dered them incapable of performing
military duty. Perhaps if the pension.
lists were now scrutinized many d man
would be astonished to find that some
of his neighbors who seem well and
strong draw money regularly from the
treasury on the ground of disability
contracted in the service. But-there
are certain people who feign sickness
when there seems to be little or noth-i
ing to be gained by so doing. !
NEARLY every hospital and house ot
correction in the country has it's regu-
lar attendance of malingerers, says
physician at the kpiscopalian Hospital,
Philadelphia ''Some are most cum
ming in their schemes to become pa
tients. The comfortable bed. the good
food, and the kind attention they re-
ceive, are the temptations to try these
deceptions. Why, once saw case Of
feigned muteness. A youth of seven
teen was brought to us. His parents
said he had spoken well enough until
he was eleven years old, but since that
he had never spoken word. He had
his hearing perfectly. We tried good
many things-galvanism, tonics, and
even, because we thought it was stub
bornness, we had a clergyman to talk
to him, but all was of no avail. At last
we came to the conclusion that the
young rascal was hoodwinking us, and
we determined to try trick upon him
that has been tried with success be-
fore.
1.-TWO of the physicians stood at his
bedside, as if consulting about his case.
One of them said i'll loud whisper to
the other; We'll. I'll tell you what we'n
do. First of all we'll cauterize the
whole of the under surface of his
tongue, and, if that does not succeed,
we will cut out his tongue and examine
| it under microscope. Then. turning
to an assistant, he continued; MIR. Will
son, please get the iron red hot. The
fellow didn't say any thing, but he
tried by signs to beg the doctor not to
perform the operation. The iron was
brought, and the surgeon began ar
ranging the patient. The sight of the.
instrument on its spirit flame, almost
at a white heat, brought forth a terri
BILE cry from the boy, the first sound in
six years. ''Then one assistant held
his legs, another his arms, a third hiss
head, and wedge was thrust into his
mouth. Still not word. The hot iron
was lifted and brought near to his face,
80 that he could feel the heat. Wheth-
er the operation would have been per-
formed or not am unable to say, but
there was no necessity, for the instant
he felt the heat he shouted; 8" 'Oh.i
don't doctor, dear, please don't; I'm
not dumb! will speak-I will, indeed .
And he left the hospital that very aft
ernoon. PHILADELPHIA Times.

which places he and Col. Bowen had
visited in tho interest of the Cumber-

ported the people of the French

the enthusiasm which merely says "it
is a good thing" but that which
shows its quality by decisive action.
Sufficient funds were collected and
subscribed to complete the profile

Asheville is live town and the
best citizens of that place and Bre.

the enterprise, by putting down the
money for it's support, Col. Bowen,

hands in then own pockets and help

SIN Months Schools.

A Camden correspondent of the
Columbia Register says:
Our present Superintendent Of Ed.
ucntion seems to be conscientious, and
certainly tries to do his duty.
This is no doubt strictly true, and
yet the Superintendent, as his prcdo-
ccssors did, deliberately disregard
one of the duties required of him by
the Constitution, viz: '.Thcro shall
be kept open at least six months in
each year one on moro schools in
each school district"
The Superintendent probably " thinks
as each of his SUCCESSORS evidently
Thought, that he knows better how
tho schools should hc run than the
Trainers Of the Constitution; and per
haps he does know BETTER But that
is not the question. The Constitu-
ton il mandatory on this point, aud
leaves no room for discretion. This
requirement muy bc an unwisc onc--
We do not say that it is. IF so, it
should be repealed; but until repeal
Ell, it should be obcycd. A publicof-
iicer should obey nll law, more espc-
cially the organic law.
The above from the Ncwbe11y Oh
sorvcr certainly deserves the consider
alton of the Superintendent of E,lu-
cation end the Comfy Board of Ex-
nmincrs. We think the constitu-
tional plan would do far more good
than the one now i'll operatiom. Thorc
are eight school districts in this c0un-
ty. This many schools kept open in
the county six months under good
teachers would accomplish moro than
the seventy odd run two and half
and three months. With the school
fund Of this county the requirement
of the constitution could be carried
out 10 the letter. a careful effort
might show sufficient funds to run
two good schools in each township
for six months, but the object hereto
fore seems to have been to run os
many Hcifocia MS possible during the
year without regard to the lcn9th Of
time they are rum.
